Hijacker's Demand Was To Meet 2pac
Some Miami high school students were left shaken - but unhurt - after a scare on their school bus yesterday morning.
Police say a man hijacked the bus with 38 students on board and ordered the driver to take him to a stadium. Police say the unarmed man said he wanted to save the kids from terrorists - and also said he wanted to be taken to meet late rapper Tupac Shakur to get his autograph.
The suspect - identified as 20-year-old Jovanta Frazier - was arrested without incident and the high schoolers were escorted back to school.
Police say the man boarded at a bus stop and demanded to be taken to a stadium. He rode with the students for about 50 blocks as they waved out the windows to draw attention.
An assistant principal from another high school eventually pulled in front of the bus and talked to the hijacker. Police say the suspect is facing 39 counts of false imprisonment - one count per student and one more for the bus driver.
